The Red Bull King of the Air competition is the highlight of the kitesurfing calendar in Cape Town. It sees the very best board-riders from all over the worl coming together for a day of adrenaline, actions, and a lot of wind. The event takes place in January or February each year.

When
The event doesn’t have a defined date—usually until the very last few days before it takes place. The organisers assign a two week period during the windiest time of the year, and then everyone waits for word that it’s a go. Once the dates are announced, the event goes ahead and the world’s best kitesurfers take to the waves for an incredible show.

Anywhere the wind blows
Cape Town has an incredible coastline that wraps around the whole city. We also have the infamous “Cape Doctor”, the strong south-easterly wind that earned its nickname by blowing the city smog away and leaving the Cape Town air clear and fresh. It’s also what makes the city a kite-surfers dream. When the rest of us dive for cover in..

November every year marks the start of the Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts, which take place every Sunday between November and April. The events are a summer staple in Cape Town, and make for some of the best evenings you can possibly have in the mother city. International acts take to the stage along with local bands. If you’re in Cape Town on a Sunday between November and April, gather your picnic baskets, friends, and family, and enjoy the best music South Africa has to offer in the shade of Table Mountain.

The venue
Kirstenbosch was the first botanical garden in the world to be devoted to a country’s indigenous flora. The beds are filled with the glorious fynbos plants found nowhere else in the world. No matter what time of year you go, something is in flower, but the summer months are truly special. There are meandering pathways, forests, flowerbeds, and sprawling lawns to enjoy. The concert stage is at the base of a natural amphitheatre, and concert-goers sit on the rolling ..

Comedy thrives in a city as vibrant and culturally diverse as Cape Town. It’s also a humorous window into the culture of a place, and Cape Town has no shortage of comedic commentary. Visit a comedy club, show, or festival anywhere in Cape Town and whatever your taste in comedy, you will find plenty to laugh at. Here are some of our best places to see comedy in Cape Town, in no particular order.

The Cape Town Comedy Club, V&A Waterfront
The Cape Town Comedy Club at the Pumphouse, V&A Waterfront, is at the forefront of top class entertainment with its line up of great comedians, both local and international. The club has a variety of special offers, including half-price Sundays, Happy Hour, and Mid-week Madness. Their own speciality beer on tap is a perfect accompaniment to the comedy, and the menu has great pizzas and grills to enjoy. You will recognise some well-known comedians’ names on the food items, as you place your order for a Murphy or an Izzard.

Cape Town isn’t a huge city, as big cities go, but there’s more to see and do than you could fit into two years, never mind two days. It’s a delicate balance.
